I tried building kino, dvgrab and cinelerra CV soemtime last year with teh aim that i could finish in time for soho beta? but got stuck with soem dependencies and then did not have the time to continue with it.

unfortunately i have never been able to capture video well with dvgrab or kino. i get about 600 MB worth video and then it just freezes or restarts the computer. As fate would have it, i installed Ubuntu 7 and it my luck is not much better there.Yesterday something happened to the power supply and i cant even start the damn machine now:(.

so im in no hurry. its ready when its ready but unfortunately i cant pitch in this time around. Though you can bet that once the packages are ready, i will test them out thoroughly and give good feedback

easuter, thanks v much:). I came back from a grueling weekend drive to see what was wrong with my machine [ it was not starting up before i left] turns out the power supply might have died. im considering getting a new machine. but i will update once im done swimming through these issues and back on terra firma bye till thencheersram
